Subject: [PATCH]Diskdump - yet another crash dump function
Date: Thu, 27 May 2004 18:33:18 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1CC443CDA50AF2indou.takao@soft.fujitsu.com> (raw)
Although I know about LKCD and netdump, I'm developing yet another crash
dump, which is a polling-based disk dump as netdump do. Because it
disables any interrupts during doing dump, it can avoid lots of problems
LKCD has.
Main Feature
- Reliability
Diskdump disables interrupts, stops other cpus and writes to the
disk with polling mode. Therefore, unnecessary functions(like
interrupt handler) don't disturb dumping.
- Safety
Before writing to the disk, diskdump checks its disk partition to
confirm whether it is a really dump device. Therefore, diskdump
doesn't overwrite filesystems by mistake.
Currently, diskdump supports only scsi disk(aic7xxx/aic79xx), but, I'm
planning to support IDE disk in the near future.
Diskdump can be downloaded from here.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lkdump
Please see readme.txt which can be downloaded from this site.
Any comments?
Best Regards,
Takao Indoh
